<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 7946955, member: 83175&quot;]I&#039;ve seen Tindersticks four times - the first time in the 1990s when I won a competition for two tickets from a radio station I&#039;d never listened to - someone told me the answer, so I entered and got a call back.&nbsp;&nbsp; Funnily enough the other guy won as well and we were maybe the only two people who entered the competition.&nbsp;&nbsp; The question was &quot;Who is the lead singer of Tindersticks?&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; The answer, of course, is Stuart Staples.</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]R1xEFkA88Zs[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>In all, I&#039;ve seen Tindersticks four times - once in Cork and three times in Dublin.&nbsp;&nbsp; I hadn&#039;t listened them in ages until getting stuck in YouTube tonight <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at their Wikipedia entry now, I see that I&#039;ve missed their last two albums, so must get them and catch their 2022 tour.</p><p><br /></p><p>Their earlier stuff was dreamy - two albums called Tindersticks, then Curtains and a great live album (Live at the Bloomsbury Theatre).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a duet with Isabella Rossellini <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]XMhQIYlFxlM[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>Their later stuff is different, equally great.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I got to a coin show last month - Coinex - and picked up a few coins and books <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; Here&#039;s one of them - a few scrapes and graffiti and even some wax on the obverse, but a decent coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moneyer: Mn.
